Field Level Media

Alex Verdugo had four hits and drove in the go-ahead run to help the Atlanta Braves defeat the visiting Minnesota Twins 4-3 Saturday and win back-to-back games for the first time this season.

In his second game since joining the club, Verdugo was 4-for-5 with two doubles, and his single in the sixth inning off reliever Brock Stewart chased Nick Allen home with the go-ahead run.

The victory was Atlanta’s tenth straight against Minnesota, dating back to 2019.

Starter Chris Sale pitched 4 1/3 innings and allowed two runs on six hits, three walks and struck out a season-high eight.
